No problem with just having the "types" element for me ... that's what I ha=
d=20
originally :-). What the user types
@Element(types=3DMyElement.class)
compared to the single form
@Element(type=3DMyElement.class)
is so similar I didn't see the point of the single form variant and, of=20
course, it also allows multiple values for implementations that support it.=
=20
Just want to avoid that option being included and then removed, and then ba=
ck=20
in again.

Thx.=20
JPOX CVS now builds with latest Apache JDO jdo2-api.jar=20
(@Persistent,@Element,@Key,@Value "boundTypes" -> "types", and also=20
@Element,@Key,@Value "embedded" change). I've started the "nightly" build=20
running so there are jars if anyone wants to run with it.
